The Vasa Museum Stockholm is home to the world’s only surviving 17th-century ship and one of the foremost tourist sights in the world. …a visit to the world most famous Vasa Museum is a must. It is really a disaster that turned into a success. It sank during its maiden voage and lade under water for 333 years. In the 1950s it was found just 15 minutes from the city center, well kept and preserved by the mud in the breakish water. After closing ours, the museum turns into a most fascinating reception & banquet venue for up to 1200 people.
